New Delhi, Mar. 17 : The Supreme Court of India on Thursday asks the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to consider amending penalties proposed on cell companies for call drops and inform it about what steps it would be taking.

Cell companies had argued that technical details and difficulties had not been taken into account by TRAI while fixing penalties.

"On one hand municipal authorities were sealing cell phone towers which directly affect the quality of Calls and on the other hand TRAI is charging penalties and not supporting us in getting our towers up and running," said cell companies to the apex court.

Cell companies said that in any service there will be some elements of failure.
